April 25, 2022 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Monday, April 25, 2022

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Learn by practice. — Martha Graham

We were practicing addicts. We were working to perfect our craft; we were good at being addicts. Let us practice recovery with the same intensity. We need to practice the Steps. We need to work to deepen our relationship with them. We must practice patience and tolerance with ourselves and others.

Remember we’re working to be in this for the long haul. We seek humility not perfection, progress not perfection. We seek to learn and better ourselves at being ordinary people. We seek to enjoy the journey, knowing it will never be over. And as we practice and learn, we step deeper into life and sobriety.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, each day help me show up for practice and enjoy the process of learning.

Today’s Action

At the end of today, I will take some time and ask, “What did I learn today that will help me live a good, sober life? What will I practice at tomorrow?”
